โฆ Synopsis
Radiative damping of waves is important in the upper photosphere. It is thus of interest to examine the effect of radiative relaxation on the propagation of waves in an intense magnetic flux tube embedded in a uniform atmosphere. Assuming Newton's law of cooling, it is shown that the radiative energy loss leads to wave damping. Both the 'damping per wavelength' and the 'damping per period' reach maximum value when the sound and radiative timescales are comparable. The stronger the magnetic field, the greater is the damping.

A method is prescribed for generating exact solutions of magnetostatic equilibrium describing a cylindrically symmetric magnetic flux tube oriented vertically in a stratified medium. Given the geometric shape of the field lines, compact formulae are presented for the direct calculation of all the po
The nature of non-adiabatic wave propagation in a slender magnetic flux tube is explored. The results of the theory are compared with the observations of Giovanelli et al. (1978), and found to be in general agreement. Those observations, of tubes in the photosphere-chromosphere, show outwardly propa
The magnetohydrostatic equilibrium of a magnetic flux tube in a homogeneous gravitational and vertical magnetic field is studied. Gas pressure and density are presented explicitly as a function of the external magnetic field. The influence of the external magnetic field on the magnetic and thermodyn
